Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a technology for supporting information transmission within a facility such as a hospital. [Background technology]

[0002] Within a hospital, multiple laboratory technicians are responsible for collection, smear, culture, identification, and sensitivity, and when the testing process changes, technicians often share information between them. Additionally, within a hospital, there are frequent phone calls between clinical staff and laboratories, and information is often shared within the testing department. However, technicians and doctors cannot always be seated next to a PC, so information is recorded and communicated between departments via handwritten notes or telephone. As a result, generated notes cannot be managed, and useful information often gets buried and cannot be used effectively, leading to missed communications and disrupted communication.

[0005] [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 5675116 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Patent Documents 1 and 2 describe inputting handover information through user operations such as by a nurse. However, the technology in these documents has a problem in that if the user forgets to input the handover information, the handover will not be carried out. Patent Document 3 describes an examination system that records the details of treatment events performed on each patient. The same document also describes finding the details of the corresponding treatment event from the contents of examination comments (such as the doctor's findings). However, the technology in Patent Document 3 also has a problem in that if the doctor forgets to input the comment, it becomes difficult to obtain the treatment event.

[0008] In one aspect, the present invention provides a program for causing a computer to execute the steps of acquiring information indicating the results of a specimen test and, if the results satisfy predetermined conditions, displaying a screen to prompt a user to input information. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to this invention, when the results of a specimen test that meet predetermined conditions are obtained, a screen is displayed to prompt the user to input information, thereby preventing errors in information transmission. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of an in-hospital system 100 to which an information transmission support program according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. The in-hospital system 100 includes a plurality of information processing devices 10 and a DB (database) 20 connected to a network 200 such as a LAN. DB20 may store information that is used only by the in-hospital system 100, or may have the function of sharing information in conjunction with a database (such as a so-called electronic medical record system) established in the hospital where the in-hospital system 100 is located for the purpose of managing medical records and expenses for treatment and hospitalization. At least some of the multiple information processing devices 10 are connected to an examination device 30. The examination device 30 may be one that analyzes tissues or body fluids (blood, urine, etc.) collected from a patient, and performs antibody tests, biochemical tests, or pathological tests, or may be one that examines the patient's body by performing diagnostic imaging tests, X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasound tests, electrocardiograms (ECGs), respiratory function tests, etc. In other words, the content, method, purpose, etc. of the examination are not important.

[0012] 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an information processing device 10. The information processing device 10 is an example of an information transmission support device according to this embodiment, and is, for example, a PC (personal computer). As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing device 10 includes a processor 11, a display unit 12, an operation unit 13, a data interface 14, a communication unit 15, and a storage unit 16.

[0013] The processor 11 is a control center that controls each part of the information processing device 10. The display unit 12 is a display such as a liquid crystal display panel. The operation unit 13 includes various operation devices such as a keyboard and a mouse. The data interface 14 is a means for transmitting and receiving data to and from external devices such as the inspection device 30. The communication unit 15 communicates with the external devices via the network 200. It is a means for communicating with other devices. The storage unit 16 has a volatile storage unit such as RAM and a non-volatile storage unit such as ROM or HDD. The volatile storage unit is used as a work area by the processor 11. The non-volatile storage unit stores various programs.

[0014] One of the programs stored in the nonvolatile storage unit of the storage unit 16 is an information transmission support program 161 according to this embodiment. The processor 11 executes this information transmission support program 161 to function as the information acquisition unit 110 and the memo generation unit 120. In addition, the generated notes are stored in the memory unit 16, and the processor 11 has various functions for managing the generated notes, such as a function to search for previously generated notes based on instructions from the user, and a function to delete notes with a publication deadline after the deadline has passed.

[0015] The information acquisition unit 110 is a means for acquiring test result information indicating the results of sample testing. One mode of acquisition is acquisition from a testing device 30 connected to the information processing device 10. In this embodiment, the test result information obtained from the testing device 30 is stored in DB 20. Therefore, acquisition of the test result information from DB 20 is also possible.

[0016] The memo generating unit 120 is a means for generating a memo (handover) as part of information transmission support when the information acquiring unit 110 acquires test result information. In this embodiment, the memo is sent as an email to a device designated as a destination via the communication unit 15. It should be noted that when transmitting the contents of the generated memo to the other party, it does not matter what transmission method (protocol) or distribution system is used. For example, the information processing device 10 may not have a memo distribution function, and may request the distribution of the memo generated by the information processing device 10 from an email server (not shown) connected to the information processing device 10 or a server (not shown) that manages a system for communication such as chat or SNS. Therefore, the screen (user interface) that a memo inputter (described later) sees when creating the memo and the screen viewed by the other party who receives the memo do not need to be completely identical. In short, it is sufficient that the contents of the input memo are delivered to the other party.

[0017] In this embodiment, the memo generating unit 120 includes a display control unit 121. This display control unit 121 is a means for popping up a screen for prompting the user to input information, specifically a memo generated by the memo generating unit 120, on the display unit 12, when the test result information satisfies a predetermined condition.

[0018] "Predetermined conditions" include the detection of resistant bacteria, a positive result in a rapid test, a determination that a disease is a sign of an outbreak, or a result that requires a significant or rapid response. In other words, "predetermined conditions" are the detection of a predetermined pathogen or a result indicating that the extent of the spread of an infectious disease has exceeded a predetermined standard. Here, "pathogens" refers to bacteria, viruses, etc. Furthermore, "indicating that the extent of the spread of an infectious disease has exceeded a predetermined standard" refers to a situation that suggests that a so-called outbreak is occurring now or in the future. When determining whether an event is a sign of an outbreak, the memo generator 120 determines whether a given event (detection of resistant bacteria) satisfies predetermined occurrence conditions (time and location) for the same or similar events, and if such conditions are met, determines that the event is a sign of an outbreak. That is, when generating a memo, the content of the event may be determined based on its relevance to past events in addition to the event that directly triggered it. In the above case, the event is determined to be not simply an event of the detection of resistant bacteria, but an event of the detection of a sign of an outbreak.

[0019] Alternatively, the "predetermined condition" may be the reception of a signal (warning, alarm) indicating an operational malfunction or abnormality received from the testing device 30. Such signals include, for example, signals indicating that consumables such as reagents required for performing the test are running low or are approaching their expiration date, that a temperature sensor installed in the refrigerator has detected an increase in the temperature inside the refrigerator if the testing device is equipped with a refrigerator, or that environmental factors such as the temperature or humidity of the space in which the testing device is installed are abnormal values.

[0020] It should be noted that if the data interface 14 includes a voice input interface, the "input" may be a voice input, but the input information must include text information.

[0021] In this embodiment, the memo generation unit 120 includes a destination generation unit 122 and an input support unit 123. The destination generation unit 122 is a means for determining a destination according to a predetermined condition (for example, when the result of a specimen test satisfies a predetermined condition) and automatically adding the determined destination. Note that the destination may be a specific user, or an unspecified number of users or a user group (for example, all medical personnel in a hospital who are authorized to operate the information processing device 10).

[0022] The input support unit 123 has a function of automatically inputting all or part of the memo content (main text) according to the event that caused the memo to be generated and / or the memo destination when creating the memo content (main text), or automatically editing the content input by the user. The timing for executing the editing may be simultaneous with the input, or when the user explicitly instructs editing after completing the input, or when the user instructs execution of transmission. In a preferred embodiment, the input support unit 123 selects and displays an appropriate document template from a plurality of pre-stored document templates (fixed phrases) according to the event or destination. In another preferred embodiment, the input support unit 123 edits the text information input by the user to a content determined according to the designated recipient. "Editing the content determined according to the recipient" means editing the information into a format that is easier for the recipient to understand (a format that makes it easier for the information to be conveyed accurately and quickly), such as by supplementing information or replacing terminology according to the attributes (field of expertise, years of experience as a medical professional, skill and knowledge level, etc.) of the recipient person or group of people (for example, when one email address is shared by multiple people).

[0023] Furthermore, the input support unit 123 may add and display information related to the text information entered in the main text field 401. Examples of "adding related information" include the following: First, the patient's name obtained from the patient ID by referencing an electronic medical record database (not shown) is added. Also, link information for accessing a server that manages test results and viewing details of the test results is added. Also, link information to a site that explains technical terms is added. "Adding" may be done by adding to the end of the sentence in the main text field 401 or by inserting into the sentence. Note that link information is, for example, a URL or a path name of a file or folder.

[0024] Furthermore, the input support unit 123 may replace the phrase entered in the text field 401 with another phrase and display it.

[0025] Hereinafter, examples of screens for prompting the user to input information, that is, memos, will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3D. 3A is an example of a screen. As shown in FIG. 3, the screen (memo) displays text information indicating the test results, and includes a text field 401 for displaying information entered by the user, a destination field 402 for specifying the destination of the text information entered in the text field 401, and a subject field 403 for entering a subject. . At the bottom of the memo screen, there are provided a "publication start date" indicating the date when the memo was created or sent, a "publication end date" indicating the last date when the memo will be publicly available, and a field for entering keywords. This information is used by the information processing device 10 to manage memos, such as when searching for created memos or deleting expired memos. As described below, all or some of the above fields and sections may be left blank by default and manually filled in by the user as needed, or may be determined and automatically filled in by the memo generation unit 120 depending on the type and content of the event that triggered the generation of the memo. When the user selects the "Send" object located in the upper left corner of the screen, the contents displayed in the body field 401 and the subject field 403 are confirmed and sent to the destination specified in the destination field 402.

[0026] 3B is an example of a screen that is displayed when an abnormality signal is received from the inspection device 30. In this example, the character string "Abnormality in XX inspection device" is automatically entered in the subject field 403.

[0027] 3C is an example of a screen that is displayed when information indicating that additional testing is required is received from the testing device 30. In the destination field 402, the target specimen number and text indicating that additional testing is required are automatically entered.

[0028] 3D is an example of a screen that is displayed periodically at a predetermined timing (for example, 15 minutes before work hours), regardless of the operating status of the inspection device or the inspection results. In this example, when the clock built into the information processing device detects that the predetermined time has arrived, a screen is displayed in which the address of the "Personnel Department Person" is automatically entered in the destination field 402 and "Daily Report" is automatically entered in the subject field 403 to prompt the user to submit a daily report to record the work details for that day.

[0029] Next, an example of the operation of this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, the infection control information table shown in FIG. 4 and the memo generation auxiliary table shown in FIG. 5 are stored in DB 20. The infection control information table accumulates test result information obtained from each testing device 30. The memo generation auxiliary table is a table that defines the above-mentioned "predetermined conditions," i.e., the conditions for generating a memo (handover) regarding the test result information and the destination of the memo. In this embodiment, each time new test result information is generated and added to the infection control information table, memo generation unit 120 generates a memo based on the test result information and the memo generation auxiliary table.

[0030] Figures 6A and 6B show a memo generated when the test result information No. 6 in Figure 4 is added to the infection control information table. In the example of Figure 6A, the test result information No. 6 indicates that the drug-resistant bacterium MRSA has been newly detected. Therefore, the information No. 1 in the memo generation auxiliary table is selected, and a memo addressed to ICN is generated using the template for new detection reports. In addition, text indicating that MRSA has been newly detected is automatically entered in the subject field 403. 6B, the test result information for No. 6 uses a template sentence indicating that the drug-resistant bacterium MRSA has been detected, and the text in the subject field 403. In this way, the contents of the infection control information table are reflected in the automatically entered information.

[0031] Figure 7 shows the memo generated when the test result information No. 4 in Figure 4 is added to the infection control information table. In this example, the test result information No. 4 indicates that the blood culture result was positive. Therefore, the information No. 3 in the memo generation auxiliary table is selected, and a memo addressed to ICD is generated using the blood culture positive template. It has been completed.

[0032] Figure 8 shows the memo generated when the test result information No. 5 in Figure 4 is added to the infection control information table. In this example, the test result information No. 5 indicates the detection of SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, the information No. 4 in the memo generation auxiliary table is selected, and a memo addressed to ICN is generated using the SARS-CoV-2 detection template.

[0033] FIG. 9A shows a memo generated when the test result information No. 7 in FIG. 4 is added to the infection control information table. In this example, the test result information No. 7, like the test result information Nos. 3 and 6, indicates that the drug-resistant bacterium MRSA has been newly detected in Ward 1. The input support unit 123 searches the infection control information table to determine whether a predetermined bacterium, which is a condition for an outbreak, has been detected a predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined period of time in the same area. If an outbreak is determined to be present, the information No. 2 in the memo generation auxiliary table is selected, and a memo addressed to the ICD is generated using a suspected outbreak template. In this example, because MRSA-resistant bacteria have been detected in Ward 1 over a four-day period, it is determined that a sign of an outbreak has been detected. Furthermore, for example, if the above-mentioned resistant bacteria are detected in multiple wards, the situation may become even more serious, so a template corresponding to a more serious suspected outbreak may be used, as shown in Figure 9B.

[0034] As described above, according to this embodiment, when specimen test results that meet predetermined conditions are obtained, a screen is displayed to prompt the user to input information and a memo is generated, thereby preventing errors in information transmission.

[0035] In this embodiment, the DB 20 stores an input support setting table shown in FIG. 10. The input support setting table stores destination, logic category, target data, processing category, and settings in association with the serial number of each processing content. The destination field indicates the destination of the memo to be edited (here, A or B). In other words, "A" means that the content specified to the left of it will be edited for the memo designated as destination A. As will be described later, the logic category indicates which of three editing processing categories (editing information about bacteria, editing information about patients, editing information about medicines) the data belongs to, which are executed in parallel. The target data refers to the data to be edited. The processing category specifies the content of the edit (correction, addition of link information, addition of supplemental information). The setting specifies the specific content of the edit processing specified in the processing category (for example, if the edit is a replacement process, the information to be replaced, if the edit is the addition of link information, the information to be linked, etc.). When the memo generating unit 120 generates a memo, the input support unit 123 refers to the input support setting table and determines the content of input support processing such as editing or adding to the memo.

[0036] FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the input support process according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the input support unit 123 executes, in parallel, a process consisting of a search process for bacterial information (step S101), a process for acquiring bacterial information (step S102), and a process for adding bacterial information (step S103), a process consisting of a search process for patient information (step S201), a process for acquiring patient information (step S202), and a process for adding patient information (step S203), and a process consisting of a search process for drug information (step S301), a process for acquiring drug information (step S302), and a process for adding drug information (step S303).

[0037] In step S101, the processor 11 searches for bacteria information from the text information in the memo body field 401. In step S102, the processor 11 Detailed information on the obtained bacteria information is acquired by searching, etc. In step S103, the processor 11 performs processing for adding the bacteria information to the memo based on the information acquired in step S102.

[0038] FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the process of adding the bacteria information. First, processor 11 determines the destination of the memo (step S110). If the destination is destination A (e.g., a laboratory technician), processor 11 performs a correction process for the bacterium name searched for in step S101 (step S120). Next, processor 11 adds a link to information about the bacterium name to the memo for destination A (step S121). The information about this link is obtained in step S102 described above.

[0039] On the other hand, if the destination is destination B (nurse, etc.), processor 11 performs a correction process for the bacterium name searched for in step S101 (step S130). Next, processor 11 performs an addition process for the bacterium name for destination B (step S131). Next, processor 11 adds a link to information related to the bacterium name to the memo for destination B (step S132).

[0040] 11, the processor 11 searches for patient information from the text information in the body field 401 of the memo. In step S202, the processor 11 acquires detailed information about the searched patient information by searching or the like. In step S203, the processor 11 performs processing to add patient information to the memo based on the information acquired in step S202.

[0041] Figure 13 is a flowchart of this process of adding microbial information. Processor 11 determines the destination of the memo (step S210). If the destination is destination A or B, processor 11 performs a process of adding a link to patient information (step S221). Next, processor 11 adds a link to the specimen number (step S222). If the destination is not destination A or B, the process ends without executing anything.

[0042] 11, processor 11 searches for drug information from text information in memo body field 401. In step S302, processor 11 acquires detailed information about the searched drug information by searching or the like. In step S303, processor 11 performs processing to add drug information to the memo based on the information acquired in step S302.

[0043] 14 is a flowchart of the process of adding drug information. Processor 11 determines the destination of the memo (step S310). If the destination is destination A (e.g., a laboratory technician), processor 11 adds a link to information related to the drug information searched for in step S302 (step S320).

[0044] On the other hand, if the destination is destination B (such as a nurse), the processor 11 performs processing to add the drug name to destination B (step S330). Next, the processor 11 adds a link to information related to the drug name to the memo for destination B (step S331).

[0045] Next, an example of an operation for editing the input content when the user manually inputs the main text will be described with reference to Figures 15 to 17. The timing for executing the editing may be, for example, when the user selects the "Send" button, or when an operation object for instructing editing is provided on the screen and this operation object is selected. In the memo shown in FIG. 15, A is entered as the destination manually by the user or automatically based on a trigger event. The screen shows the state after the above. At this point, the subject has not been entered.

[0046] The text document entered in the body field 401 contains the fungal name Ps.aeruginosaa. Furthermore, the fungal name Ps.aeruginosaa is a typo. Therefore, the information No. 1 and No. 2 in the input support setting table of FIG. 10 are selected, and the memo is corrected as shown in FIG. 16. In the memo shown in FIG. 16, the fungal name Ps.aeruginosaa has been corrected to the fungal name Ps.aeruginosa (step S120). Furthermore, the underlined Ps.aeruginosa has a link embedded in it to detailed information about the fungal name Ps.aeruginosa (step S121).

[0047] On the other hand, if the destination is B in FIG. 15, the information in Nos. 7, 8, and 9 in the input support setting table in FIG. 10 is selected, and the memo is corrected as shown in FIG. 17. In the memo shown in FIG. 17, the bacterial name Ps. aeruginosaa is corrected to the bacterial name Ps. aeruginosa (step S130). A link to detailed information about the bacterial name Ps. aeruginosa is embedded in the underlined Ps. aeruginosa (step S131). A supplement (multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa) is added to the resistance name MDRP (step S132). A document URL indicating an access destination for detailed information about the resistance name MDRP is embedded in the underlined MDRP (step S132). This URL may indicate an address within DB 20, an address within a DB linked to the in-hospital system 100 (such as a so-called electronic medical record DB), or an address of a device external to the in-hospital system 100 (such as a website on the Internet).

[0048] 18 and 19 are diagrams showing an example of input support operation for microbial information. In the example shown in FIG. 18, the destination is A, and the text information in the body field 401 includes patient: 103678 and specimen: 20270305-0010. Therefore, information Nos. 3, 4, and 5 in the input support setting table of FIG. 10 are selected, and the memo is modified as shown in FIG. 19. In the memo shown in FIG. 19, the patient's name (Yamada Hifumi) is added after the patient's ID: 103678 (step S220). In addition, a URL to the patient's test result list screen is embedded in the underlined ID: 103678 (step S221). In addition, a URL to the test result screen is embedded in the underlined specimen ID: 20270305-0010 (step S222).

[0049] 20 to 22 are diagrams showing examples of input support operations related to drug information. In the example shown in FIG. 20, the destination is A, and the text information in the body field 401 includes the drug name MPIPC. Therefore, information No. 6 in the input support setting table in FIG. 10 is selected, and the memo is corrected as shown in FIG. 21. In the memo shown in FIG. 21, the underlined drug name MPIPC has a URL embedded in it to a drug dictionary in which the drug is listed (step S320).

[0050] On the other hand, in Fig. 20, if the destination is A, the information Nos. 13 and 14 in the input support setting table in Fig. 10 are selected, and the memo is modified as shown in Fig. 22. In the memo shown in Fig. 22, the URL to the drug dictionary in which the underlined drug name MPIPC is listed is embedded (step S331), and a supplement (oxacillin) is added (step S330).

[0051] As described above, according to this embodiment, appropriate editing processing is executed for the bacteria information, patient information, and drug information according to the destination of the memo.

[0052] The above-mentioned memo screen configuration is an example. For example, Based on the content of the memo, the body of the created memo, and / or the destination, an object for the user (memo creator) to perform an operation related to the content of the memo may be further displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 23, an object 409A for performing an additional specimen test and an object 409B for referencing information in the electronic medical record are displayed. When object 409A is selected, a command to perform the additional test is sent to the testing device 30, or a form page in the hospital system for entering information necessary for performing the additional test is accessed. When object 409B is selected, a request to view the electronic medical record is sent to a server that manages the electronic medical record system (not shown) connected via network 200. To determine which objects should be displayed in which cases, information about the objects to be displayed in association with events (including icons and information specifying the operation to be performed when selected) can be specified, for example, in the memo generation auxiliary table of FIG. 5.

[0053] Furthermore, the above-described phrase replacement and link information are merely examples of the editing process according to the present invention. The editing content is arbitrary. For example, the editing process may include adding reference values ​​(standard values) for test items or panic values ​​(abnormal values ​​that deviate from a specified range and require immediate medical intervention) to a memo intended to communicate test results. Conversely, the editing process may include partial deletion or summarization of information to eliminate redundancy, as long as it contributes to speeding up communication. In short, any process that has the potential to promote communication between personnel is acceptable.

[0054] The present invention may also be applied to institutions that specialize in testing, but do not provide medical examinations or treatments. In other words, the present invention can be applied to any situation where technicians and medical personnel are divided into multiple departments and need to share or communicate information between departments, regardless of the function, purpose of establishment, or content of medical services provided by the testing institution or medical institution.
